Success!
One of the things I've most missed since I followed my job at ChoiceStream into Cambridge was having the woods next to where I work. When I worked at Stream, there was woods next door to take a nice walk in. At Tessera there was a wonderful little stream out back to sit and meditate next to. At Enliven, the woods weren't quite as accessible, but ( Read more... ) -
Field Day!
I'm volunteering for field day at Cait's school today. This is like the 5th year in a row I'm doing it. It's a lot of fun. I was thinking about it yesterday; field day is like the definitive comparison for excellent fun - "Wow, we could have a field day with that ( Read more... ) -
Off to the Big Apple
Well, tomorrow actually. Mali and I are taking the kids down to New York City for our kinda annual trip. Amtrak has a special this month for their 40th anniversary where kids ride free, so the sometime-this-season trip quickly became the Hey, let's go next weekend trip. We've been staying in hotels when we go, which tends to limit how often we ( Read more... ) -
Holy Crap, Delicious Library
I was checking out the delicious library website, and this is smack in the middle of their pitch screen...

Google angry sadness
Ugh. Google hosed us today! We have our corporate e-mail hosted on Google Apps for business. We wanted to remove a domain alias and change that to be our primary mail domain. Not only did the system not let us remove the alias properly, but then it got in a cludgy state where it would not deliver mail for that domain at all! So the primary ( Read more... ) -
Somtimes Google is creepy.
Sometimes Google is creepy in its insightful accuracy. And I mean that in the best way possible. For instance...
I need to learn more about Oracle administration, because Oracle is the bane of many people's existence at my new company, and being the new guy I've ( cheerfully? ) accepted the responsibility of dealing with it as much as possible. I ( Read more... ) -
Must update.
I did say I was going to start updating more regularly ( Read more... ) -
Bucking the tide
Well, not really, but I am hoping to restore people's interest in LiveJournal. Not at the expense of FaceBook, mind you. I think they both have their useful niches. But not Twitter. I think Twitter is just dumb. Fortunately what I think generally doesn't matter for squat against the world at large, because I'd hate for Twitter to tank and ( Read more... ) -
It's always darkest before the dawn ( or, the epitome of a mixed blessing ).
February was a total epic fail. For me at least. Very well, let us move on.
Good things have come of it. For one, I'd been pining for more time ( and more just regular old family time ) with the kids. Wish granted! We see them every morning and evening now, I drop them off at school, pick them up at the Boys & Girls Club, have dinner with them ( Read more... ) -
I'm not dead yet!
I really need to post more, or at all. =)
